Family visit

Place was great for our little weekend getaway. Had our family over for a couple visits/dinners and it worked great. Bed was a bit too soft and sort of sank in. The air vent in the ceiling did fall in the middle of the night during our stay. They came right over and repaired it the next morning.owners were very responsive.

Lovely Little House

I was visiting Tucson for a national dog event and brought my two small dogs with me. The house was perfect for us. I liked the back yard for early and late potty breaks in the dark.

Little Pink Casita

The casita was just right for the two of us. We appreciated the backyard patio and enjoyed a peaceful breakfast out there. Taylor was great when we had a TV issue the last night of our stay. He came right over as soon as we called him. The only negative was the big step into the shower.

Perfect for single

I was in Tucson for a UofA event with my daughter. This was the perfect cottage for the weekend. It is well appointed and clean when I arrived. Taylor and Yuko are great hosts. Very responsive. I’d stay here again (we also booked the adjoining house for the family for graduation weekend).

Perfect Casita

We stayed 2 nights. Taylor and Yuko were very responsive to any questions we had. The location was great for visiting our friends. The casita was quiet and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend for a couple visiting Tucson as the rates were very affordable.

Great stay

My husband and I came down to hike the mountains and stayed at the casita. The location was very convienent to everything needed. The service was very good, great cooking space, and all the utensils needed were provided. The backyard is very calming and has a little fire pit. We would recommend this property for anybody heading to Tucson.

Best Kept Secret In Tucson

We cant say enough about this little gem of a casita. Its so quiet, peaceful, and private. Its just the right size for 2 people. The back yard was perfect for a BBQ at home. It is walking distance from a CVS and McDonalds and just far enough from main roads that you cant hear the traffic. We loved it
